can someone please verify if rooted Motorola Droid (original) with WiFi tether can work for TP? In "Change setup method" I see only 2 options: 1. Auto & 2. WEXT (ad-hoc). Does that mean Droid can't support infrastructure mode?

I tried various combinations with different channels, encryption/no-encryption, transmit power from none to highest, access control enabled/disabled, device profile from auto to generic and several other models. Nothing seems to work.

it WILL work for ad-hoc only devices. i have a samsung moment 2.2 rooted which can only do ad-hoc and it worked. make sure you forget your current wifi network and keep wifi on while you run the commands

Open Garden in the Android Market works perfectly to tether. I use it at least 3 times a week. No issues.

please provide the phone you have, android version, and if the phone is rooted.

I managed to get the Touchpad to connect to my phone using JoikuSpot (ad-hoc wifi) on my phone using the following.

1) From preware download xecutah, xserver and xterm, these are in testing feeds, here is the link Testing Feeds - WebOS Internals
2) Open Xecutah and tap on Xserver, this will launch a new card.
3) Go back to Xecutah and tap on Xterm and go back to the XServer card which should now be a terminal.
4) Type the following, replacing your-hotspot-name with whatever your phones wifi is called:
iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc essid your-hotspot-name
5) Type:
dhclient eth0

If its just me and its not supposed to excuse my ignorance. But......no internet connection!!!! any ideas guys. This is the only thing stopping me from retiring my iPad1
